The goal of any weight loss diet is to get rid of the hated pounds.
Today, there are a wide variety of diets that involve different restrictions. Many products are very weak in composition, so diets can often create certain health problems. But that does not apply to eggs!
Each organism has its own characteristics. Each person has their own taste preferences, based on them it is worth choosing a diet. For those who like to eat chicken eggs, an egg diet is suitable.
Next, the egg diet for 4 weeks, a detailed menu, reviews and results will be considered!
Description of the diet
From the name it becomes clear that the basis of the egg diet is chicken eggs. Egg whites are easily absorbed by the body. Eggs are rich in vitamins and minerals. Due to the variation in taste and calorie content, the egg diet can be kept for quite a long time as eggs allow you to get enough and there is no need to experience a constant feeling of hunger.
On an egg diet, you can achieve excellent results if you follow a few simple rules:
- Meals should be three times a day, without snacks and the addition of extra products;
- You can eat vegetables and fruits without the use of salt and oil. Prohibited vegetables include potatoes, forbidden fruits - grapes, figs, bananas, dates and mangoes;
- You can consume low-fat dairy products;
- It is necessary to drink plenty of fluids, at least two liters a day, give preference to mineral water without gas and green tea without sugar.
Since other foods can be added to the egg diet, it can be used for up to four weeks. But at the same time you should carefully monitor your condition, even if the body normally accepted eggs, so with their daily use as the main product, allergic reactions may occur, nausea, dizziness will appear. If these signs are present, the diet should be stopped immediately.
Different options
Not all people lose weight at the same rate. It depends on age, excess body weight and the speed of metabolic processes in the body. When starting any diet, understand that the main goal is not only to get rid of extra pounds, but to improve the general condition of the body.
The egg diet includes three meals a day. The last meal must be made no later than six o'clock in the evening. If you like fried eggs during the whole diet, you will have to forget about them. Eggs are only boiled soft-boiled, it is absolutely impossible to salt them.
There are several versions of the egg diet: one week, two weeks, three weeks and four weeks. Depending on the duration of the diet, the allowable set of products also changes. The longer the diet, the more varied the food.
If you have decided to go on an egg diet for the first time, it is best to start with a seven-day diet. This diet is often referred to as an egg-citrus diet. During the day, eat only eggs and grapefruit or orange. For breakfast we eat an egg, an hour later a grapefruit and then alternately during the day. With this diet you can easily lose up to 10 extra kilos.
With a longer egg diet, meat, low-fat yogurt and cottage cheese are introduced into the diet from the second week. You can use parsley, lettuce. Not all products are salted.
If you decide to go on a diet for three or four weeks, the egg diet can be even more varied. Eggs and citrus fruits are eaten twice a day. For the third meal you can use meat with vegetables, low-fat soups with cucumber and green salad, boiled vegetables, with the exception of potatoes. The food can be salted easily.

The essence of the egg-orange diet
The diet cycle is divided into weeks, which in most cases start on Monday. We decided to split it up into seven days without being tied to the days of the week. They say that on Monday, new beginnings have failed, so start on any suitable day. The first week will not delight you with a wide variety of breakfasts. One of the mainstays of the diet menu is the combination of eggs and citrus fruits. The simultaneous use of these products provokes metabolic processes in the body where "extra" fat is burned. This is a very serious job and therefore eggs and citrus fruits should be consumed primarily at the beginning of the day.
With the help of this diet, extreme weight loss is possible. So in 5 days it is really possible to lose 5 kg. Grapefruits can replace oranges. One day you have to eat 6 oranges and 6 eggs. The duration of this extreme diet is up to 7 days.
A more gentle version of the egg-orange diet is also possible. The method is designed for 4 weeks. For 1 week, eat 9 eggs and 6 oranges daily. In the second, third and fourth week you can diversify the diet with fruits and vegetables, but only in raw form. So you can lose up to 10 kg a month.

- During the first week, eat grapefruits, tomatoes, eggs, cucumbers, fish, beef, chicken, zucchini, oranges. You can also eat fruits like kiwi, apples, pears, the most important thing is that they do not have many carbohydrates.
- The second and third week of the diet is very tough, but you should weigh all the pros and cons, present the final result and continue the diet. You can eat cooked meat, cucumbers, tomatoes, eggs, fish, cooked vegetables

Doctors' opinions
American nutrition experts have conducted studies, according to which eggs are the healthiest and low-calorie way to saturate the body. This product contains almost all the necessary trace elements and vitamins, the antioxidant lutein, indicated for the elderly and athletes. Eating eggs prevents obesity and diabetes.
Due to the content of healthy fats in eggs, a feeling of satiety occurs and the feeling of hunger dulls.
However, this diet is not entirely suitable for people who are prone to allergic reactions. Eggs and citrus fruits are very allergenic.
The content of a large number of vegetables and fruits in the egg diet will not allow the body to feel a lack of vitamins and minerals unlike, for example, a protein diet. The diet menu provokes the production of carnitine, which also helps burn calories.
It should be remembered that according to the staff at the sanitary and epidemiological station, 10 out of 20 thousand eggs for sale are infected with a bacterium that causes dysentery, vomiting and confusion. It is called salmonella. It is placed on a damaged shell. Therefore, if you still decide to follow this diet, rinse the eggs thoroughly and cook them for at least 5 minutes.
Contraindications:
- pregnancy and lactation;
- severe liver and kidney disease;
- hypersensitivity to citrus fruits and eggs;
- elevated cholesterol levels;
- diseases of the cardiovascular system.

Reviews of weight loss
First review: Before the diet, I weighed 83 kg with a height of 173 kg. Despite "giving up" in the third week, I managed to fit into my old jeans. Lost 10 kg. I must add that I was actively involved in the gym. Maybe that's why it's this result. The hips "fell" by 9 cm, the waist - by a full 12 cm! She was very irritable!
Second review: After the birth we managed to lose 8 kg! According to the statement of the endocrinologist that I visited, this is not just a diet but a proper nutrition system. During the diet, an acetone flavor appeared in the mouth. After visiting the endocrinologist (since there is a problem with the kidneys, I will not risk it), he advised me to drink more water. As a result, I lost 8 kg in 4 weeks!
Third tip: Only those who do not like eggs can have problems! I did not completely follow the egg diet, but the basis of the diet was eggs, fruits and vegetables. About 5 eggs were eaten every day of the month. Stable, every day it took about 200 grams. As a result, I dropped 5500 in one month! This despite the fact that I practically did not sit on a diet and did not deny myself anything!
The egg diet thus makes it easy and comfortable to achieve the desired weight loss. The result will last for a long time, provided you do not immediately throw yourself into tasty dangers like sausage and chips.
